Each award will be an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) contract with a maximum contract value of $99,500,000.00 and a three-year ordering period. The U.S. Army will use these systems for demonstrations within U.S. Army Forces Command (FORSCOM) Brigade Combat Teams (BCTs) in support of the Future Vertical Lift Cross-Functional Team.

"The Army is making great strides in developing informed requirements for the RQ-7 Shadow replacement for our Brigade Combat Teams. Following a very competitive "fly-off" the selected air vehicles will be placed in Soldier's hands as the Army embraces a "Buy, Try, Decide" approach to ensure we develop the capabilities our BCTs need. This is a great example of innovative and effective teamwork between the Future Vertical Lift CFT, PEO-Aviation, and Army Contracting Command to streamline the process to get superior capability to operational units faster while saving time and funding," said Gen. John Murray, Commanding General, Army Futures Command.
